The Daemon King's petite wife.

Chapter 2: Demons

Anna's eyes widened and her lips trembled not from surprise, but from horror.

The physiological tears that flowed from the pain earlier blurred her vision, so she failed to get a clear look at the man, only knowing that the other party was a young man with a nice voice.

She was also startled when she was carried onto the carriage by the other party's princess, but with her injured knee and momentary shock, she didn't have time to react.

As she dried her tears, she also heard the man's proposal.

But she didn't have time to be surprised, because when her sight returned, she saw a scene that made her almost unable to hold back her screams.

--This handsome man's body also hid a demon with goat horns!

It had also been a few days since Anna had traveled to this other world, knowing that this world possessed mage spells and that demons no longer existed only in fables.

But these supernatural elements are too far away from her these days, and she never had a sense of reality, until today, when she saw a living, breathing demon, possessed into a handsome man, and actually asked her to marry him!

Although this body that Anna possessed after she wore it was considered a little beauty, there was no reason for the demon to fall in love at first sight. Then, there is only one reason for the demon to propose to her - he has his eyes on her soul and wants to trick her into concluding a contract by making her agree to the proposal!

Anna had grown up watching stories like One Thousand and One Nights and Aesop's Fables, and knew that most people who made a contract with a demon didn't end up well.

"I refuse."

Anna uttered her answer with fear and faint anticipation.

The fear in her heart almost rose out of her throat as she saw the other party's face sink because of her refusal.

Would this demon kill her out of annoyance?

Would she wear it back after death, she thought almost despairingly?

After a brief moment of surprise, Rothgar thought it was the other woman who hadn't heard him clearly.

"Fair lady, perhaps I did not make myself clear enough, it is not that I want you to be my mistress, but that I want you to marry me in the presence of a priest, take my name, and become Mrs. Wilson." Rothgar suppressed the impatience in his mind and still invoked Parrish's memory.

Even though he thought he was restrained enough, he couldn't help but bring out a bit of murderous intent in his tone because his purpose wasn't immediately accomplished.

...... This is also too scary!

Anna shivered, if she continued to refuse, he would really kill her, right?

But if she agreed to him, her end would be worse than death!

Anna lowered her head, her hands gripped the hem of her skirt tightly out of fear, her knuckles were white at the roots, and after a short silence she had no choice but to answer in despair, "I ...... refuse."

In the next moment, the raging malice within the carriage caused Anna to suddenly stiffen, and she didn't dare to look up at the other party, nor did she dare to say anything.

She just prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she could go back to modern times after she died.

Rothgar almost did it.

Very good, before he was thinking of giving her a hard time once she agreed, he didn't realize that she was wasting his time playing lustful tricks with him.

If he hadn't promised Balaam that he wouldn't have to use coercion, he would be lifting her by the neck right now to get her to say yes and give her a good taste of how stupid it was to tease an Abyssal Archduke before she died.

"Beautiful lady, I am a gentleman, and although I am very much in love with you, if you refuse to agree to my proposal, then I will have to endure the pain and set you free."

Rothgarl no longer wore a smile on his face as he said this.

This was his last chance to give this human woman.

If she continued to tease him, as a "thank you" he would let her live until the end of her life and suffer every day until she died.

Anna froze at the demon's words.

"Set you free" ......

How could there be such a good thing?

Now, Anna was even more determined, she looked up at the other party, but instantly lowered her head in horror after seeing the evil demonic look hidden under that handsome face.

"I ...... don't deserve you, please allow me to refuse." She clenched her teeth and whispered from her heart.

Rothgar lapsed into a long silence.

So, was it because he hadn't been in the human realm for so long that it had become something he didn't recognize?

He looked toward the human woman with her head bowed and her hands pinching her skirts with veins sprouting from the force, and it took great effort to control the urge to strangle her bī her promise.

Now that he had promised Balaam, he would not break his promise.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home." Rothgar said almost word for word.

Anna was on the verge of tears when she heard the demon's words and felt the malice hidden in them.

The demon said he would take her home! Was it going to make her run for her life?

But on second thought, it's not like she can't go home, isn't it easy for a demon to know her home?

"My home is in Pomegranate Lane, you can just walk me to the end of the lane." Anna whispered back, her tone very respectful.

Since I can't resist, I'll accept it ......

Rothgar was not sure where Pomegranate Lane was, but he knocked on the wall of the carriage, "Do you hear me?"

The soundproofing of this carriage was so poor that the two people outside could actually hear the conversation inside the carriage, and the driver immediately said at his words, "Yes, Young Master Parrish!"

The four-wheeled carriage that had been parked all along moved, the carriage driver who drove the carriage and the manservant who sat outside were quiet, and only the sound of the carriage grumbling along and the sounds of marketeers coming in through the walls of the carriage could be heard.

Anna kept her head down and didn't say a word, and didn't dare to look up at the "Master Parrish" for fear that her eyes and expression might give something away.

It's good to wait for home, it's good to wait for home. ......

Until Anna got off the carriage not far from Pomegranate Lane, "Young Master Parrish" didn't say anything else, and after the carriage door closed, the car quickly disappeared from Anna's sight, she looked at her bleeding knee and limped towards the inside.

Saying something about tending to her injuries and then not even treating her wounds, she knew the demon was possessed, luckily she was decisive enough to neither oblige him nor let him realize she could see him.

She believed that something like demonic possession could not be discovered by an ordinary person, and this ability of hers, perhaps incidental to traveling, must not be known to the demon.

Pomegranate Alley was located in the west of Bluestone City, not quite a slum but not far away, Anna purposely got off the carriage early, lest the appearance of the luxury carriage cause a commotion.

She had just taken two steps inside, when she saw someone sobbing in a small voice, she followed the sound and saw that the boy who was only eight or nine years old was trying his best to suppress his cries, and his body was full of big and small old and new scars. At the sound of movement, the boy looked up suddenly, his brown eyes filled with panic.

Anna pursed her lips, looking away before walking silently by.

The boy was Bobby the Butcher's son, and she knew he must have been beaten by his father again. Before she wore here, Bobby had beaten his wife to the point that she couldn't move on the bed after drinking, and she had seen Bobby beat the child once after she wore here, and at that time, she was naive enough to go and stop him, and not only did she fail to stop Bobby from beating him, but she was also pushed down by Bobby.

These times, after all, are different, and the people around her have long been numb to it all. Wives and children were the belongings of the head of the family, and even if they beat someone to death, no one would care. They have already put their best foot forward for their own survival, and they simply don't care if others die or live.

Anna wear this little girl, this year seventeen years old, just ordinary civilians, the family in addition to her and her parents, there are two brothers and a sister. Although the family is not so hungry, but also just enough to eat.

The productivity level of this era is similar to that of the Middle Ages that she knows, supernatural elements such as mage spells exist, but they are rare, at least she has not seen them in the past few days that she has traveled here-until just now when she saw a demon with goat horns that was having trouble with her for some reason.

Anna had inherited all of her original body's memories, but the memories were like a foreign language she'd learned, and there was a certain disconnect between them and herself; it had taken her nearly a day to even be able to speak fluently.

She didn't know why she had traveled here or how she could go back, and sulked for two days before she got her jīngs together - at least to survive this bad time first.

It was only at this point that Anna abruptly remembered that the one who had just been possessed by the demon seemed to be none other than the son of Earl Wilson, the lord of this Bluestone City and the surrounding area, whom everyone called Young Master Parrish.

Because of the shock and fear that the demon brought to her, she didn't even bother to notice at that time, that the son of the lord was young and handsome.

She couldn't help but be thankful that she was smart enough not to be tricked into signing a contract with a demon, or else that young master Parrish would be her future.

*

Rothgar was initially confident of winning the bet, but failing on his first attempt made him wonder a bit if this human world had changed.

The carriage returned to the Earl Wilson's mansion, the lord of Bluestone City, and Rothgar borrowed those memories of Parrish enough not to attract suspicion.

When passing by the garden of the Earl's Mansion, a blonde maid that Parrish remembered somewhat was watering the flowers, when she saw him, the tall maid immediately put down the shower and saluted with her skirt, "Good day, Young Master Parrish!"

Rothgard took a step and pulled up Parrish's memory, smiling, "Abigail, would you like to ......"

Hearing the handsome and charming young master call her name in a voice full of magnetism, Abigail was so excited that she was about to faint, she cupped her face with both hands and screamed in excitement, "I'm willing! I do! Young Master Parrish, you can do anything to me!"

The smile on Rothgarl's face quickly disappeared, and he took a small step back in disgust, as if he was afraid of staining something.

But at the same time, he had a sense of satisfaction that things were back on track.

This was the human realm he had once known, the disgusting way he remembered human women should look.

So what was the deal with the human woman who had deliberately fallen in front of his car?
